The Florida Chamber of Commerce is ratcheting up the oil drilling debate with a new "survey" of its members that asks if they would support or oppose cap and trade, renewable energy standards for electric companies and "energy exploration in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida as long as any permanent structures necessary for oil and natural gas production are not visible from shore?"
Notice it's not called "oil drilling" anymore but the new jargon is "energy exploration."
